That's interesting to hear. I'm trying to organise a display of what the WI and the WVS did during the second world war for Warriors Through The Ages at West Stow. Not sure that the public will be interested but it's always good to point out that people were keeping the home fires burning. There were over 200 members of the WVS killed on active service during The Blitz
